My husband and I went to Barcelona for our honeymoon during the last two weeks of December and this is the hotel we picked to stay at. Our overall experience with the hotel was great and we personally liked the location. We felt safe at this spot, but overall, we felt safe at the spots we went to in Spain. There were 2 issues that came up during our stay, but nothing crazy, and the front desk was able to get it resolved very quickly. We used the spa for one day, which was relaxing, and you need to book a time slot to use the spa which includes the sauna, steam room, pool, and gym. They offer towels and free flip flops. We didn’t eat breakfast once at the hotel since we were close to many restaurants, walking distance (10-15 minutes), that we could to go too. Cabs are available just outside of the hotel that you can wait for, but if you’re okay to walk then we’d recommend walking My to the subway which is about a 15-minute walk from the hotel and is quite accessible to many of the main tourist spots in Barcelona. We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and family. But keep in mind we went during low peak season, so it didn’t feel crowded, and we were able to receive amazing service. Also, the weather in Barcelona during December is beautiful weather if you’re coming from Canada. It ranges from 10-15 degrees, so light jacket is needed, but more layers are needed if you go up to the mountains in Spain. Thank you to all Meliá staff for the exceptional service you provided us during our stay. We hope to see you again in the future.
I was in this wonderful hotel two days ago; I enjoyed my stay a lot. There is a team of professionals with great warmth, the location is good, it is central, and the rooms are cozy. The breakfast with the receptionist or hostess from latin origin (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name) was amazing, she gave us a warm welcome, she was sweet, and she knew how to seat us at a table; she had a very nice vibe, the service was great. One day very early, we asked for an iron from reception, surprisingly a minute later a kind housekeeper brought it to us, she was polite, it was incredible, and the concierge was also very attentive. The only thing we didn’t like was the toilet in the lobby, it was dirty, but everything else and the team of the hotel was super professional, we had great moments in the hotel and restaurant. We recommend it!!!
